Family heirloom from Poland, brought to Amsterdam, NY in the 1900s by
the Opalka family. Carolyn Male got the seeds from her co-worker, Carl
Swidorski, whose wife was from the Opalka family and introduced the
seeds through the SSE Yearbook in the 1990s. Indeterminate, regular leaf plant with wispy foliage produce some of the best tasting, red, paste tomatoes with 5-inch long fruit shaped like a banana pepper with a pronounced tip on the bottom. Fruit has very few seeds, is extremely meaty and loaded with rich sweet flavors lending to its sauce appeal.
